UltraFast Laser for Micromachining

The Applied Energetics applications center in Tucson includes a Laser µFAB- a tabletop laser microfabrication workstation. The Laser µFAB is designed for use in laser ablation and surface structuring of tough materials, writing of waveguides and microfluidics. Relevant industrial materials that can be used in ablation applications include metals, polymers, semiconductors, glasses, and ceramics. The 3rd party software GOL3D is used to control the workstation.

The Applied Energetics WildCat Ultrafast Laser system contains the patented Ocelot oscillator and Leopard Amplifier in an integrated chassis.  The laser outputs over 1 GW peak power at 1 KHz and 800 fs pulse width.  It produces 100W average power at 30 MHz.  The system can be integrated with the laser microfabrication workstation of your choice. The laser works in concert with the microfabrication workstation.
